Foxes in East Dulwich - Are they safe?

[Weegee]

We have been getting nightly visits from Foxes.

No not Dr Fox or Samantha Fox but 4 legged brown furry friends who like to visit and have a good rummage

?.they also seem to come about the same time?130 in the morning..

Don?t know if they have taken the last train from London Bridge or something

Are they safe? We have 2 cats who I sometimes worry , they the foxes might want to pick a fight with?..

[lenk]

There's probably more foxes in ED than cats.

They tend to keep their distance from each other - and the foxes round here have more than enough food.

[thexwinglessxbird]

One of my cats was very lucky to survive after she had a huge chunk taken out of her side - & she was a very small cat. I would advice owners to keep their cats in at night - atleast not to lock them out completely. It's not very safe, no.

Foxes? Safe? Are they safe, you say? I'll tell you how bloody safe they are...

They come round here, driving bendy buses (badly), they're rude, arrogant, ride their bikes on the pavements, carry knives and attack wheelie bins, wear hoodies, pick the flowers on Peckham Rye, play their music 'til all hours, dress up as clowns, take seruptitious photos of our kids in the park without so much as a 'do you mind', won't accept cheques, park in the disabled spaces in Sainsburys, knock on your windows at night, try to scam you on Lordship Lane, have swine flu, and park their articulated lorries on yellow lines outside John Allans (after crashing into the roundabout).

I wouldn't be suprised if they're all asylum seekers who jump the queue for council housing, hold racist views, and only marry their own kind too.

And they all work for Foxtons.

Bastards, the lot of them!

[Muley]

And did I mention that they like to crap all over your lawn at night?

[Moos]

And the way they witter on about their organic thisthatandtheothers while pushing their huge Foxyboo buggies around, just gets on my nerves.

Back on topic though they definitely do chase and kill cats from time to time.

don't we all?

[Asset]

My cats are out with the foxes every night and have never come to any harm.

[KidKruger]

The foxes must be safe, or at least they must FEEL safe in SE22, judging by the amount of rutting and the noise they make while doing so.

Free food, no hunting or shooting, they are overrunning the place - BRING BACK HUNTING

[Muley]

Not In My Back Yard (only 'cos the hounds leave more crap on the lawn than the foxes)

[????]

No hounds, yoofs on them mini-mopeds with reactivated handguns

Therefore if one was to recommend a lift on the fox hunting ban...the culling of all the above could be consider Genocide?

we have had foxes for years never bothered our cat, but twice in 6 weeks our cat has been attacked the fox even tried to get in the cat flap even tho i was banging on the window . Emergency vet bill has made me realise that it is not safe anymore to let her out at night. The vet even asked if we had had her immunised against rabies!

[boswell]

We had several foxes over the years who used to come at all hours of day (often used to sun themselves in our garden or on our balcony in the afternoon) and never had any trouble with any of our cats.

Muley - funniest post I've seen here, made me laugh out loud. Thank you. Sums this place up perfectly.

[sandnot]

There are foxes in the Garden that backs on to mine, I have wondered why I havent seen the usual cats using the local rat run. I have a cat and she hasn't wanted to go at night in the last few weeks

That's not to say that they wont. Just read suzisoo's post. But I really hope they wont.

Another thing that bothers me as that I used to live next door to a cat owner & her cat crying outside the door used to drive me nuts. I felt like taking the cat in as my own. Putting danger aside, Some cats just do not like to be kept outside all night.

As for Foxtons: Foxtons is a waste of space. I really wish they hadn't put that on Lordship Lane. A decent little supermarket would have been better. Something but not that.

It's no accident we've got a Foxtons

Influx of moneyed City types looking to fire out a mewling hateful sprog sometime soon = you get a Foxtons

[Moos]

T'ain't the sprogs that are filled with hate, lenk.

[Muley]

"mewling hateful sprog"

Lenk, you've opened my eyes and helped me to see the light. I'm gonna flog my sprogs on Ebay and buy you a drink in the Peckham Rye cafe Wednesday (post 6pm sprog-free) blues session.

You are a legend...

I have 5 copies.

The reason we have a foxtons is that there are a bunch of people prepared to pay over-the-odds for an tiny Victorian semi near some kind of shop with a French name.

You don't get Foxtons in say, New Cross.

Oh noes, and I was so looking forward to his eight hour minimal set.
